When a bonded interface is destroyed, .ndo_change_mtu can be called
during the tear-down process while the RTNL lock is held. This is a
problem since the auxiliary driver linked to the LAN driver needs to be
notified of the MTU change, and this requires grabbing a device_lock on
the auxiliary_device's dev. Currently this is being attempted in the
same execution context as the call to .ndo_change_mtu which is causing a
dead-lock.
Move the notification of the changed MTU to a separate execution context
(watchdog service task) and eliminate the "before" notification.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
